NRL statues, where are they, who likes them, where will the next statue be?

Didn't this get Vossy the sack??



This is in the Caxton now, sits next to the bar, it's actually tiny

Other than Lachlan maranta every player that’s run on for the mighty Broncos deserves a statue

 

[jim_57]

Already is one

Hmm, must have looked right over it.

I can get behind a Sims brothers statue at Suncorp

They seem to be a Queensland thing. They wanted to put a statue of a cane toad up at the place they were released but the Govt wouldn't pay for it.

more queenslanders , big artie beetson, suncorp

Not exactly the shape I remember him.

That's what makes it funny- the ONE game he played at this field, he was 400 kilos

he started very young as a tear away centre at the balmain tigers i believe, very fast, strong, then evolved lol

I know this, I know he played 18 games for NSW before his 1 game for Qld.
Just don't get the Lang Park connection

He also played for Redcliffe in 1964-65 and 1981. Winning their only premiership pre-Broncos in 1965 and signing off on his great career in the 1981 grand final, beaten on the bell by a last minute try to Souths.

He also spent many years as coach of Qld.

Plus it's a spiritual thing. He's seen as an icon and turning point in QLD rugby league, no longer would their players be taken by NSW and play against their home state.

Pretty sure there is a john eales statue at Lang park.

Haven’t they and he played mostly out of ballymore?

Lang park is a rugby league ground.

Have you ever seen what Ballymore looks like now? It’s just an abandoned pile of rust with tube tv’s and trees growing out of the roofs. It’s a QLD sporting thing and not having Eales in a QLD walk of fame is insanity.
